Yes there is sunlight in Antarctica.

Like the north pole has an Arctic Circle, Antarctica has an Antarctic Circle. Where June 21 has 24 hours of daylight at the Arctic Circle and northward, the south pole at this time has 24 hours of nighttime. Over the next six months this cycle shifts so that on December 21 the south pole has 24 hour sunlight, and the North Pole has 24 hours of nighttime.

This is because the earth is tilted on axis by 23.5 degrees. When Earth is on one side of the sun the southern and bottom portion get most of the heat and light, when the Earth has moved half way around the sun the northern and top get most of the heart and sunlight.

In Antarctica there are usually two weeks in midwinter Around June 21 when the sun does not rise and a couple of weeks in summer around Christmas when there is 24-hour sunlight Why?

It is because the Earth is tilted. As it orbits the sun there is a time that Antarctica is tipped away from the sun completely, so even when the Earth rotates the sun does not rise at all. The reverse happens at the other stage, with Antarctica being tipped towards the sun completely.It is because the Earth is tilted.
